Chambersburg >> Joshua Mark Shockey, 24, will face a sentencing hearing Wednesday on a terroristic threat charge in connection to a June incident in which had also faced a rape charge that was later dropped as a result of a plea deal.

Shockey, of Cumberland Valley Avenue in Waynesboro, pleaded no contest to terroristic threats on July 17, which helped remove rape related charges from consideration. However, Shockey was found in violation of his probation on Dec. 17, according to police, and he will now faces resentencing on the terroristic threat charge.

Shockey was initially charged along with Robert Clements for allegedly raping a woman known to both of them on June 13, at Clements home at 3 Cleveland Ave., according to court documents. The woman told Waynesboro Police that she was at the apartment when Clements and Shockey arrived intoxicated. She argued with Clements and left, but when she returned the two men were sitting on the bed and allegedly started talking to her about having sexual intercourse.

The woman told police she was uncomfortable, but eventually agreed. However, she was worried after things allegedly began to get rough, according to court documents. She allegedly told Clements that she wanted to stop but Clements allegedly grabbed her and pulled her down, despite her telling him no and attempting to leave the bed.

Shockey and Clement allegedly committed multiple sexual acts on the woman and each other, all after the victim asked them to stop, according to court documents. The victim told police that, after the assault, Shockey allegedly said "this all stays in this room, if this gets out, both of your bodies will be thrown in the river and will never be found," according to court documents. The three then went for cigarettes "to keep her quiet," the victim told police.

On June 17, police spoke with the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner and the victim. They retold the story of the assault, mostly adding details about times and specifics about the sexual acts.

The nurse found several bruises all over the victim's body that were caused by her being bitten, according to court documents.

In July, Shockey avoided the rape charges by pleaded guilty to terroristic threats, specifically for the last statement the victim alleged he had said, the Public Opinion previously reported. According to court documents, he was sentenced to 36 months of intermediate punishment in July and had to pay $1,390.80 restitution to Waynesboro Hospital. On Dec. 1, while Shockey was still on probation, he was charged with terroristic threats, simple assault and other offenses relating to an incident in which he allegedly shot a gun into a home, 25 Cleveland Ave., Apt. B, according to court documents.

The prosecution of the December incident is ongoing, but the court found the incident as a probation violation on Jan. 17.
